Working with Kaleo was a game-changer for me. Before this experience, I often doubted the power and significance of my own voice. This Program opened my eyes and helped me recognize the importance of expressing myself authentically. Kaleo was phenomenal, providing actionable techniques along with heartfelt encouragement, I discovered not only how to communicate more effectively but also why my voice matters.

My experience with Kaleo was uplifting and made me feel truly heard. The Program didn't just teach me how to find my voice; it helped me realize the value of who I am and what I have to say. It has been truly empowering, and I am incredibly grateful for this newfound strength. I cannot wait to continue my journey with Kaleo as she guides me in continuing to strengthen my voice and stand in my power!“

I was thrilled to discover the beauty and sacredness of the Hawaiian Hula and it’s traditions! It is like a moving, flowing, dancing meditation, honoring Life, Love and the Great Spirit. Kaleo is a wonderful dedicated teacher with much passion for sharing the tradition with the stories, chants, and beautiful dance. I want to keep learning more hulas as each seems to be more beautiful and inspiring!

The retreat was powerful, insightful and very practical. Not only were ways outlined to diminish my negative "scripts" and gain positive ones, concrete strategies were also given to keep implementing these new ways into my everyday life. Discussions were life affirming and thoughtful, and I have come away with so many practical ways to deal with my anxious thoughts as I keep working on "Owning My Authentic Voice". Thank you, Kaleo

When experiencing Kaleo speaking and telling her stories, you find yourself
becoming totally involved with her as she is fully present in the world of the story she is sharing. She draws the audience in to open their hearts and be a part of that story with her. A true storyteller! Absolutely beautiful!.
